Three ACI Alliance Task Force papers were awarded the Ear & Hearing Readers’ Choice Award on Friday, March 3rd at the American Auditory Society annual meeting in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Readers’ Choice Award is given to the articles that have been accessed most often on the journal website and/or through the on-line portal.
Ear & Hearing, The Official Journal of the American Auditory Society,published the three papers by ACI Alliance Task Forces on CI candidacy and management in 2022. The Task Forces were assembled to provide clarity on candidacy determination for adults and children with bilateral or single-sided deafness. The important collaborative work of the task forces is vital in expanding understanding of cochlear implant candidacy determination and management in various populations. The papers were endorsed by the American Academy of Audiology after a rigorous review by that organization.
The mission of the American Cochlear Implant (ACI) Alliance is to advance access to the gift of hearing provided by cochlear implantation through research, advocacy and awareness.
